Alternative to Twisted Wheel nuts?
Mine are rusting and the stainless ones from twisted are an absurd price. Wrington used to do them but don’t any longer, does anyone know of an alternative?

Probably cheaper to have the wheels machined out to accept a normal nut

get yours re-coated?

I don't have a clue how they have the cheek to charge what they do for wheel nuts, I bought 3 sets of black for £25 a pop... Shocked

I did plastic dip my original set before "black" was available to the general public - at one point it was only for full build cars.

I know what you mean on cost, not cheap at all.

Or have a machine shop fabricate new ones from 27mm A/F stock? 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

Are you after the 24mm twisted ones designed for their wheels or 27s ?

There's plenty of the latter available

That's a link to a snowplough (show-off! Rolling with laughter ) not a wheel nut!

My current ones aren't looking to healthy either, if Wrightons needed a minimum order of several sets to make up a batch, I would happily put my name down for a set. Thumbs Up 2005 Td5 110 Hardtop

Sorry, I assumed that they are 27mm across flats... so just take my comment as just an idea. If quantity is high enough, a tool shop with a CNC can churn them out at good price. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

I just had a look at mine are also a bit rusty.
I can take one off and knock a drawing up over christmas and have a word with my production manager when I get back in the new year.
How mutch were Wrightons charging?

£7.50 a nut. Would be good to have them in black.

Just looked at their contact page on the website. The phone number is missing and email submissions thing doesn’t work. Doesn’t look good!
